73 interesting. The values may be either numeric ids or the |
| 1575 | 74 names of items. The special value "-1" may be used to match items where the |
| 75 property is not set. For example, the following searches on the issues: | |
| 76 | |
| 77 ``assignedto=richard,george`` | |
| 78 match issues which are assigned to richard or george. | |
| 79 ``assignedto=-1`` | |
| 80 match issues that are not assigned to a user. | |
| 81 ``assignedto=2,3,40`` | |
| 82 match issues that are assigned to users 2, 3 or 40. | |
| 83 ``topic=user interface`` | |
| 84 match issues with the keyword "user interface" in their topic list | |
| 85 ``topic=web interface,email interface`` | |
| 86 match issues with the keyword "web interface" or "email interface" in | |
| 87 their topic list | |
| 88 ``topic=-1`` | |
| 89 match issues with no topics set | |
| 90 | |
| 91 | |
| 92 Date properties | |
| 93 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| 94 | |
| 95 Some fields in the search page (e.g. "Activity" or "Creation date") hold | |
| 96 dates. A plain date entered as a search field will match that date exactly | |
| 97 in the database. We may also accept ranges of dates. You can specify range | |
| 98 of dates in one of two formats: | |
| 99 | |
| 100 1. English syntax:: | |
| 101 | |
| 102 [[From] <value>][ To <value>] | |
| 103 | |
| 104 Keywords "From" and "To" are case insensitive. Keyword "From" is optional. | |
| 105 | |
| 106 2. "Geek" syntax:: | |
| 107 | |
| 108 [<value>][; <value>] | |
| 109 | |
| 110 Either first or second ``<value>`` can be omitted in both syntaxes. | |
| 111 | |
| 112 For example, if you enter string "from 9:00" to "Creation date" field, | |
| 113 roundup will find all issues, that were created today since 9 AM. | |
| 114 | |
| 115 Searching of "-2m; -1m" on activity field gives you issues which were | |
| 116 active between period of time since 2 months up-till month ago. | |
| 117 | |
| 118 Other possible examples (consider local time is Sat Mar 8 22:07:48 2003):: | |
| 119 | |
| 120 >>> Range("from 2-12 to 4-2") | |
| 121 <Range from 2003-02-12.00:00:00 to 2003-04-02.00:00:00> | |
| 122 | |
| 123 >>> Range("18:00 TO +2m") | |
| 124 <Range from 2003-03-08.18:00:00 to 2003-05-08.20:07:48> | |
| 125 | |
| 126 >>> Range("12:00") | |
| 127 <Range from 2003-03-08.12:00:00 to None> | |
| 128 | |
| 129 >>> Range("tO +3d") | |
| 130 <Range from None to 2003-03-11.20:07:48> | |

| 133 <Range from 2002-11-10.00:00:00 to 2002-12-12.00:00:00> | |
